When this business model was introduced, I was under the impression that the idea was to bring in more money, which would allow for more staff, frequent improvements, overall better quality of life.

I'm seeing this level of quality that we are getting, and now... I'm beginning to wonder if it was a good idea...

Hello Brian Clayton I'm certain you have heard my name... more than once.

What have I liked most about freedom: The base love. hands down. there are others, but nothing outshines that base love.

What I haven't liked: pointless nerfs. The appearance of development frowning on this thing called "farming"... name one surviving game that doesn't have it. Put a stop to developer farm hate or the rmt's are going to take over. <get the rmt's out of Atlas WW> Misconceptions of this word "value" case in point, and I should add, you've probably seen this a few times as well. 500 pp for a dog that does...nothing. Want money? re define your concept of values and pay attention to the concept of mine. You will see they are two different things. If work is put into a thing it becomes obvious as does the value increase, you will see more people buying.<glares at art dept> requires digesting a thing called feedback. Pay attention to those beta testers they aren't running their mouths just to hear themselves talk. Pay better attention to your trans-gendered community they aren't wearing that duct tape because it's comfortable. value=money. we both want that. Personally I'd love to have the income to throw at anything that comes out, just because I love the game and want for its longevity however, I can't justify a purchase if there's no value.

So many thing wrong with costumes available to players, so many things wrong with many costume pieces that -should- be available. I blame this dated thing called "formula" you know, the one where men are swollen with skulls and women are prostitutes? Break that mold. I'd also like to know where is my "Bonanza" badge? Where is my ten gallon hat? where oh where are the other incarnate powers? Omega and such?

What can be done to add more value to VIP?

I don't know if I was heavily sedated or if my feet were nailed to the floor...again.. I misunderstood this at launch. I thought that VIP's <well having that title sort of places emphasis on something valuable> would have access to all costume sets, powers, and every facet of the game. Then I found myself vip -and having to purchase- costume sets, powers, etc... in my case I can only assume it was a perception issue... either that or I was mislead. Iv'e been all for this business model conversion and in retrospect I'm glad it happened. A bitter sweet victory it was. In the whole vip sense, isn't as vip as I thought it would be. at least that's been my experience. I was hoping that communication breakdown would be damage controlled to a point. It seems like it has... to a point... I'd really like to see and hear more development regarding bases, -new decorative items dammmiiiiiit- dont make this another two year stretch! relevance of bases for larger groups, group buffs, that base server storage limit needs attention.

I'd also like to hear more about pvp development. rumors can fly the grapevine can talk and oh boy it does... I think the pvp crowd needs some tlc if thats even possible. as cracked out and pistol whipped as this post is and the pages are that I would like to add, this is where I stop as I have a gun pointed to my head.

next!

yeah I'm starting to get into that boat.

I'm wondering what happened to my vampire pieces I paid for.

This is becoming an issue about quality.

This "pretending to not be naked but we really are so respect me as if I were fully clothed and look at me in the eye when I'm talking to you because I'm not a brainless sex object even though I dress like I am"

... just isn't going to cut it for much longer.

I guess it's time to whip something out of that ol' innovative hat eh?

Tired old "formula" is tired and old.

it's like hearing that worn out meme; "that's what she said" over used over done, doesn't make anyone laugh rather just makes your ears bleed.

this formula? same thing, just with your eyes.

edit: no Bonanza badge? not Ten gallon hat?! Really? Not even with this set?! bah! I firmly suggest whoever is in charge reevaluate what defines value of purchase when going with theme sets. Get some education on what people want before wasting resources on what some tired old formula dictates. this is starting to become an eyesore.

agreed.

windfall on beta: 4 purps

windfall on live: 0 purps

future purchases from me regarding windfall: 0

sent you a pm.

time sensitive, check it.

Until there is focus on making bases relevant to larger groups, he should expect an abundance of solo sg's.

That leads to the question "How does one make sg's relevant to larger groups?"

I love that pissed off mechanical bark.

its a cost effective method for a one person sg.

Here is the layout;



Telepad is right next to the entrance, so when you enter your base, you can jump into edit mode and swap out becons <no deleting>

Workshop 1:



Crafting salvage on levels 2+3, buff salvage on level 1

Workshop 2:



Crafting salvage, Enh table, Vault.

This is how I do it: I have a premium account that I use to invite alts on my VIP for the initial starting prestige boost. I have a farmer built for earning prestige. I take all my excess and put it on the market. I take all my inf and buy prestige.

It's time consuming. It's supposed to be. Rome wasn't built in a day, and when you earn your way to a decked out one man sg you will appreciate it that much more.

Another note on the Premium acct, I usually keep it parked in the base so that even in a mission, I can access, and email myself anything in the base I might need, or send something to the base to store. It really is awesome to have a base bot on standby.

Umm...

Hey, just be glad you don't have to clean up after that crazy eyed baby eater.

gnashing sharp teeth and all...

...then we should have.

would encourage people to go VIP just for bots MM

because awesome...

Perfect person to ask, so please be patient with me wise one.

how feasible would it be to make this a offline pc game, with the possibility of online multiplayer... just without updates?

a <poor?> example would be something like command and conquer...

I guess what i'm getting at is I think there is a way or at least there should be a way to keep this game from vanishing into the ether.
